6. Chancel Mbemba And Fabricio Coloccini Looks A Solid Partnership
Chancel Mbemba and Fabricio Coloccini looked extremely comfortable this afternoon and their relationship is beginning to look like a sturdy partnership that will continue until the end of the season. Both players rotated their responsibilities and marked Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud immaculately throughout the ninety-minutes. With a fully-fit Steven Taylor on the bench and Coloccini finding some form, the inclusion of Chancel Mbemba has rejuvenated Newcastle's defence and the Magpies look a lot stronger across the back four this season.
